3 SHEETS-SHIEIET 3 ting point. In order that the sinker csun ring muy he thus shifted, the stop 24 is so oonstru ited and operated that it will allow tlxe sinker oam ring to be shifted by its en gagement wit-h the sinke r ring into the position indioated in Fig. 5 at the. beginning 0f a stocking, or. Wl1en t-he fahrio is to he rnn on, and willshift the sinker ring back into fhe normalposition inc1icated in Fig. 3 After ehe yarn l1as heen fed to the needles for any desired nu'mber of courses. As shownthe stop 24 oonsists of a cam block interposed hetween the stop screw 16 and Lhe fixed post 26 with whioh the stop crew engages in the usual oonstruction of Ban- 11er knitting machines. The stop block 24 is connected with one end Of a lever 27, the other end of whibh-is hifurcated to emhraoe the hell crank lever 14, so that the stop block is withclrzpwn when the hell crank lever is aotuated als the completion of tho stockin und is returned to normal position when t e hell cr'mk lever is aotuated at the encl of the running elf.
